BIOS SETUP UTILITY
The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your notebook. Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS environment to operate your notebook.
The BIOS Setup Utility configures:
■Device control feature parameters, such as changing I/O addresses and boot devices.
■System Data Security parameters, such as passwords.
Entering the BIOS Setup Utility
There are three ways to enter the BIOS Setup Utility: The SecureCore Menu, the [F2] key, or the Boot Menu.

Entering the Setup Utility After a Configuration
Change or System Failure
If there has been a change in the system configuration that does not agree with the parameter settings stored in BIOS memory, or there is a failure in the system, the system beeps and/or displays an error message after the Power On Self Test (POST). If the failure is not too severe, it will give you the opportunity to modify the settings of the setup utility, as described in the following steps:
1.When you turn on or restart the computer there is a beep and/or the following message appears on the screen:
Error message - please run SETUP program Press <F1> key to continue, <F2> to run SETUP
2.If an error message is displayed on the screen, and you want to continue with the boot process and start the operating system anyway, press the [F1] key.
■If your notebook emits a series of beeps that sounds like a code and the display is blank, refer to the Troubleshooting section of your system Use’s Guide. The Troubleshooting Section includes a list of error messages and their meanings.
■If your data security settings require it, you may be asked for a password before the operating system will be opened.
3.If an error message is displayed on the screen, and you want to enter the setup utility, press the [F2] key.
4.When the setup utility starts with a fault present, the system displays the following message:
Warning! Error message [Continue]
